THE HOLLYWOOD Chamber of Commerce is awarding Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino headliners Penn & Teller the 2,494th star on the Walk of Fame. Look for it at 7003 Hollywood Blvd. just a few steps from Houdini’s star. The magical duo was also awarded “Magicians of the Year” from The Magic Castle, and voted the Best Magicians of Las Vegas. Now all we need is for Penn to win Donald Trump’s All Star Celebrity Apprentice.
OTHER BEST OF Las Vegas poll winners include … Terry Fator, Best All Around Performer; Caesars Palace won Best Buffet for its new Bacchanal Buffet and Best Strip Hotel. Readers say The D had the best paying slots and the best crap tables.
SOMEONE ASKED if I’ve ever heard of the Erotic Museum in Vegas … Of course, I’m a self-proclaimed expert on the subject. Not eroticism or museums, but the city of Las Vegas … Where else could you go to a BDSM Prom (April 27)? Bring your leather, latex, fetish or rope, and the only rule is your kinky fashion must be street legal (that’s a lotta leeway in Vegas). Can you imagine the look on the TSA inspector’s face when he spocks a suitcase packed for this ball?
